Wireless Stations; Enable Rogue Ap Detection - NETGEAR WNAP210 User Manual

Wireless Stations

This screen shows all IP devices associated with this access point in the wireless network
defined by the wireless network name (SSID). For each device, the screen shows the station
ID, MAC address, IP address, BSSID, SSID, AID, channel rate, status (whether or not the
station is allowed to communicate with the access point), type, mode, and state.
A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all using the same network
name (SSID). This extends the reach of the wireless network and allows users to roam from
one access point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. Under these
circumstances, be aware that the Wireless Stations screen includes only the stations
associated with this access point.
